A number of papers are rapturously
applauding Representative Browns "elo-
quent Speech" opposing the pententary
bill. As disinterested observer of this
hotly-contested and expensive fight, we
wish to say that in our humble opinion,
Mr.. Browns spe ech is bombastic. full of
sound and fury, meaning nothing,
more like the the hocus-pocus of rant
ing demagogue than man credited with
the intelligence of Mr. Brown.

Cooke City now has an opportunity of
receiving direct rail communication with
the east, if it so desires. The terms by
which it can receive this road are most
liberal, and positively advantageous to
the mine-owners, who can always be
assured Of cheap 'reights. From reli-
able authority we learn that speculators
and other shippers will not be granted
such liberal terms, which are advanced
solely with the view of obtaining basis
upon which more capital can be secured
to build the road beyond Rocky Fork.

The coburn Estate.
Fairfield Journal.


1t is confidently believed that there is a
settlement near at hand between the heirs
of Philander Coburn and the heirs of the
late Gov. Abner Coburn.
1t will be remembered that the former
through George f. b. Jackson, the admin
istrator of the estate, brought bill in
equity against the latter estatesto compel an
accounting of the property of Abner since
Philander's death. 1t was claimed that
there had been an uncalled for diminution In
value and it was proposed to compel the
estate of Abner to make good the loss
which it was claimed was the result of mis-
management.
AlonZo G. Marston and Mrs. Alonz0 Co
burn are the only two heirs who are alone
interested in the estate of Philander Coburn.
The executors and heirs of Abner have been
negotiating with them for long time trying
to compromise the matter. Last Friday the
matter was supposed to be all fixed up but
some hitch came up which has delayed it,
Under the arrangement 1t is understood that
Mr. Marst0n and Mrs. Coburn receive some
100000 each. Their case is conducted by
Hon. William Philbrick who long ago found
out that the executors were extremely anx-
ious for settlement.
One of the bitches to settlement which
all parties are anxious to bring about is the
fact that the creditors of Mr.. Marston in
California have trusteed his prospective
interest in the property to the amount Of
some $4,000.

DRoUcHT-sTRIcKEN TEXAS.
No Rain Since the Very First of Sep
tember.

AUSTIN, Jan. 14-Despatches from almost
every quarter of Texas during the past
week tell of the general anxiety ex-
isting throughout the State on account of the
prolonged drought. Throughout the vast
area embraced within the great cattle and
cotton districts known as the Pan Handle,
North Texas, West Texas. South Texas and
the Central Cotton Belt no rain has fallen
since September 1. Reports from the cattle
and sheep districts do not as yet chronicle
any serious loss of stock by reason Of the
drought, but the result is none the less dis
astrous, as the vast cattle ranges are drying
up. No new grass is growing, and the ulti-
mate loss of stock is inevitable. Cattle men
who have just returned from the southwest
sections of the State beyond and below San
Antonio, tell of riding for days over parched
prairies, covered with dried grass, where in
past years has been one great carpet Of green
grass as large in extent as the entire State of
Pennsylvania. In the northwest fro IN
Wichita Falls to Fort Elliot, widespread
alarm exists among the cattlemen. In
northern and central Texas around Dallas,
Fort Worth, Sherman and Waco, where
wheat and other small grains are grown, the
situation is no better than in the cattle dis
tricts, rendering the outlook for the former
very gloomy.
